that's why they've losten oh the debt ceiling on the fiscal cliff. the idea here that this is going to, you know, kind of sway the president with the republicans i don't think it's a matter of surveying him. i think it's a matter of him owning it and there's no unified response, it's only a win-win for him. cenk: interesting. patrick, it's a real interesting question as to what the progressives should want more. he made the point they are split at this point. a remove people call themselves progressives, but they're thought, they're just democrats. i want to show you some of the numbers on the chained c.p.i. and ask you where people should stand on this. social security cuts with the chained c.n.i. over oh 10 years is $112 billion in cuts. that's significant. over oh 12 years it costs you $1,272. that's going to hurt some folks. over 30 years you wind up losing $28,000 from your social security. now that's a long time, 30 years but obviously people are not happy about that on the progressive side. that's in the bowls simpson plan. the president cuts

in august 2011 it was the debt ceiling and then the fiscal cliff. these things were averted with short term solutions. this particular solution, this sequestration allows both sides to have the melt down that they have been jockeying for and it is less impactful than a government shut down and probably less than breaching the debt ceiling. it is a managed risk here. i don't know that i agree with senator coburn that it is an entirely made up problem but i do think that it is something that is less impactful than a lot of the other fiscal debates that we have had. >> as is frequently the case in washington, d.c. the blame game. bob woodward writing the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the white house. his colleague declined writing he disagrees saying the sequester was appunt. the point was to give both sides a face-saving way to raise the debt ceiling even though the tax issue was stopping them from agreeing to a deficit deal. why at this point is the pointing of the finger so important? >> because when the pain comes somebody is going to w

so well, chris and we've had these conversations, as you mentioned, the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling debate and last minute flurry of activity and senators making triumphant returns for the holidays to be there in washington to get it done. do you see a difference this time there in d.c.? >> yeah, i think there's quite a sizable difference and that's because of the fact that with the debt ceiling, if you reach that point, we would have gone into either a technical or a practical default, jeopardizing the faith and credit of the american financial system. with a fiscal cliff, everybody's taxes would have gone up. the dramatic thing about the sequester is how undramatic it is. on march 2nd, nobody's going to notice a difference. the government doesn't shut down, none of the cuts are going into effect and it's really less a cliff and more a kind of a gentle slope because of the fact it takes a while for the cuts to kick in. in fact, the furloughs and layoffs that people are talking about, they have to give 60 days notice and that won't happen until the end of april, again, all the more
